We’re almost in my favorite month (which I learned to spell for a school program in kindergarten because it was my birth month, and I can still do it, see: O-C-T-O-B-E-R), and wasn’t that nice cool air lovely this morning? Some topics for your consideration:
- Family: Jacob Hall on life support after Townville Elementary shooting — That’s the precious, innocent 6-year-old boy who was shot. Meanwhile, the 14-year-old was charged with one count of murder and three of attempted murder.
- Trump berates ‘disgusting’ Alicia Machado on Twitter — Seriously: Four days after the debate, this yo-yo is getting up before 6 a.m. to attack this young woman, with allegations of a “sex tape” among other things. We’re getting way past merely being unqualified for the presidency. I’m starting to wonder why someone this unhinged is walking around loose. Maybe Howard Dean is onto something.
- Citing Hitler, Duterte Says He Would Kill 3 Million Addicts — Meanwhile, from the Trump of the Philippines…
- The ‘beating heart of Myrtle Beach’ went silent 10 years ago with closing of Pavilion — I don’t normally go in for “10 Years After” stories, but I don’t think we discussed this at the time. I just could not believe MB would close this, although friends who live there told me at the time I didn’t realize what a drag it had become on the town. Any of y’all have belated thoughts? Perhaps you’d like to go watch “Shag: The Movie” (which is NOT an Alicia Machado sex tape) and then get back to me.

That’s a lunge, not a split, but I’ll give him credit for trying it with a suit on.
I happen to know this because I did 30 lunges with a 145 lb. barbell today. However, I was not wearing a suit at the time.
Can you do a split? I would have thought it especially difficult for men, who have less flexibility in their hip joints…
Ha, no. I’m working on my hip flexibility, but I’m not close to doing one.
It’s not even a goal.
I liked the picture for his expression. He was being a good sport, and the girls seemed to appreciate it…
Here’s a new wrinkle to drive us all crazy:
Of course, that can’t be true because it’s not possible for anything to be “impacted”…
So I guess all the other crazy, paranoid stuff he says is true now, too?
The Commission – and Trump – say the issue was within the Hofstra U. debate hall. So everyone watching on TV heard him as he was. That’s like 100 million to 800; not even a rounding error.
Yeah, but….he plays off the reactions in the room, which could have hurt his “game.” This is not a bad thing at all, but it is a thing. I have sung in acoustically “dead” halls and once did a lethal concert in an Episcopal church in Camden ME–the frozen chosen indeed. They apparently did like the concert, based on the effusive praise afterwards, but they seemed to think they were not supposed to applaud in church. It sucked our energy out big time, though, as we wondered what was wrong…
Let’s just get rid of the audience during the debates. Seems like more and more issues are cropping up regarding the audience.
